Cover article in Chemistry - A European Journal

Jun Xu, Victor V. Terskikh, and Yining Huang,"Resolving Multiple Non-Equivalent Metal Sites in Magnesium-Containing Metal-organic Frameworks by Natural Abundance 25Mg Solid-State NMR," Chemistry - A European Journal 19 (2013) 4432–4436. (Cover Article) http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/chem.201300113 

Four nonequivalent magnesium sites with very similar local Mg environments in a Mg-containing metal–organic framework, microporous α-Mg3(HCOO)6, have been resolved by 25Mg natural-abundance triple-quantum magic-angle spinning (3QMAS) NMR spectroscopy at an ultrahigh magnetic field of 21.1 T.

This cover article features results obtained using the 21.1 T solid-state NMR spectrometer at the National Ultrahigh-Field NMR Facility for Solids (Ottawa, ON). If you are interested in using this spectrometer in your research please contact the Facility managerhttp://nmr900.ca/contacts_e.html
